Introduction

The TRT_ConditionsTools package contains tools which provide various types of TRT detector conditions information. All such tools should be migrated from the TRT_ConditionsAlgs package to this one. It currently contains:

• TRT_ConditionsSummaryTool - provides a status flag indicating the overall condition of a given straw or collection of straws, derived from a specified list of tools within the TRT_ConditionsTools package.
• ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase - IAlgTool interface for tools within TRT_ConditionsTools.
• TRT_DCS_ConditionsTool - provides values and status flags from COOL DCS conditions database. Inherits from ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase.
• TRT_ConditionsTestTool - Example AlgTool for testing. Inherits from ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase.
• TRT_ConditionsSummaryExAlg - Example Algorithm located in TRT_ConditionsAlgs which illustrates use of the TRT_ConditionsSummaryTool.

TRT_ConditionsSummaryTool

This AlgTool provides a status flag for an identifier, based on the status from multiple tools of type ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase. It contains the following functions:

• std::string listTools()
  • Returns a string listing the tools to be called, as specified in the jobOptions.
• InDet::TRT_CondFlag condSummaryStatus( Identifier) (inherited from summary base interface)
  • Returns a status flag, derived from the collection of status flags given by the specified tools.

ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase

The ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase is an IAlgTool interface for all tools which provide TRT conditions data. Here are the pertinent contents:

• enum InDet::TRT_CondFlag
  • {NO_INFO, GOOD, BAD}
  • This status flag will be added to as the variety of status states is defined.
• InDet::TRT_CondFlag condSummaryStatus( Identifier )
  • This function returns a status flag, as determined by the inheriting tool.

TRT_ConditionsTestTool

This AlgTool provides an example of how to implement a tool which inherits from ITRT_ConditionsSummaryBase. For testing, it returns InDet::TRT_CondFlag::GOOD for any Identifier.

• InDet::TRT_CondFlag condSummaryStatus( Identifier )

TRT_ConditionsSummaryExAlg

This is a simple Algorithm in TRT_ConditionsAlgs which provides an example of how to use the TRT_ConditionsSummaryTool.
